报告人简介🕷： Oscar Schofield is a distinguished professor of Biological Oceanography at Rutgers University. He is the Chair of the Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences since 2012. He is co-Director and co-Founder of the Coastal Ocean Observation Laboratory (COOL), which has become a technology and research group of 5 faculty and a team of over twenty technicians and students. Dr. Schofield interested in how plankton dynamics structure marine food webs and feedback on the ocean’s biogeochemistry. His research focus has combined genetics and biochemistry with the development of new ocean observing technologies (satellites, radars, and autonomous underwater vehicles). Dr. Schofield’s research efforts have focused on polar and temperate waters with extensive efforts in the Southern Ocean, with ongoing research along the West Antarctic Peninsula and the Ross and Amundsen Seas. The group has also focused on integrating the research into innovative education and outreach efforts spanning K-12 to undergraduate students and the general public. 报告内容〽️： Ocean scientists are often limited in when and where they can sample, which ultimately can bias our understanding of many critical processes. Over the last decade there has been a technical revolution that is changing how, when, and what we can sample in the ocean. This revolution is anchored in our ability to combine data from satellites, robots, radars and models. Our team has been developing approaches for over two decades to combine these technologies for sampling extreme ocean environments. My talk will discuss the how these technologies are changing we understand how melting of ice covered oceans are changing the ecology of the Antarctic and the complex ocean atmosphere processes regulating hurricane/typhoon processes. The technologies are changing what we can see in the ocean and future offers great opportunities for next generation of ocean scientists and engineers. |
